  • Summary

  • Portland, Oregon has a polarizing reputation — it seems drugs and homelessness dominate headlines nationally. Though it has uphill battles like any place, it’s also an undisputed leader in urban design and multi-modal infrastructure. We’re spending the next two weeks here, biking and walking all over the city and its surrounding neighborhoods. Today, we start with three (of many) physical choices that Portland practices well, and that more American cities should develop patterns after. 




    I. Neighborhood greenways / practical paths.

    II. Separated spaces for different modes.


    III. Network-level planning and design.
